Timer Output
The PWM timer output generates a pulse output with a pro‑
grammable frequency in the range of 0.0149 Hz to 32 MHz.
The timer output parameters are software-selectable.
Clock Output
The AI clock pin outputs the signal from the internal clock.
Calibration The OEM versions have the same specifications as the standard devices,
but come in a board-only form factor with header connectors instead
USB-1608G Series devices support field calibration. Run the
of screw terminals.
InstaCal utility to calibrate the device whenever the ambient
temperature changes by more than ±10 °C from the last field
calibration. Calibrate the inputs before calibrating the outputs.
Software Support
USB-1608G Series devices are supported by the software in the table below.
